Note: According to Rules 27(3) and 30, this name is not validly published because the effective publication only documents deposit of the type strain in a single recognized culture collection. However, according to the Judicial Opinion 81, Thermococcusacidaminovorans Dirmeier et al. 2001 is to be considered to be validly published.

Note:Thermococcusatlanticus (type strain MA898 = CIP 107420 = DSM 15226) appears in Validation List 99. However, the type strain CIP 107420 was never available and this name was deleted from Validation List 99. As a consequence, Thermococcusatlanticus was not validly published [Rules 27(3) and 30]. However, according to the Judicial Opinion 81, Thermococcusatlanticus Cambon-Bonavita et al. 2004 is now considered to be validly published, since deposit in a second culture collection in a different country has been documented.

Note: Although the number DSM 9535 appears in the effective publication, no type strain is designated in the paper by Duffaud et al. 1998. However, the strain DSM 9535 does not appear on the DSMZ website and would appear not to be available from the publicly accessible section of that collection. With the kind permission of Professor Robert M. Kelly, Dr. Elena Pikuta deposited the strain SHCK-94 (here designated as the type strain) in the ATCC (ATCC BAA-1085) and the JCM (JCM 12858), and provided documentation confirming deposit in these collections.

Note: According to Rules 27(3) and 30, Thermococcussibiricus Miroshnichenko et al. 2001 is not validly published because, at the time of publication, the type strain was not deposited in two publicly accessible service collections in different countries. According to the Judicial Opinion 81, authors or this name, or other scientists who wish to have this name validly published, should submit evidence of the deposit of the type strain in additional collections to the List Editor (either directly or via the IJSEM Editorial Office) before the next meeting of the Judicial Commission in Sapporo, Japan, in 2011. After that time, the name will be ruled not to have been validly published. If, after that deadline, the authors or other scientists wish to have this name validly published, this may be done by confirming that the name is in accordance with the requirements of the Code and either by requesting valid publication via the Validation Lists or by inclusion of the proposal in an original article in the IJSEM. The details of valid publication will then make reference to those publications. If authors or other scientists feel that an exception should be granted to Rule 30, requiring deposit of the type in two different collections in two different countries, they should contact the Editorial Office of the IJSEM.
